  • Summary: Set in a stylized yet familiar landscape of Americana, Munro’s whimsical cautionary tale follows Alby Cutrera, a 35-year-old husband and father who longs for the days of his carefree boyhood when his only occupation was playing with his action figures. Desperate to escape the confines of adudulthood and return to his halcyon days, Alby tracks down his childhood whipping boy Elias, who now teaches at a special needs school, and persuades him to take a road trip to Diggityland – their favorite childhood theme park. As the dynamic duo motor along Florida’s tatty Orange Blossom Highway, they encounter a cast of tragicomic creatures, including an AWOL ex-theme park employee turned commando hitchhiker, an oversexed bartending clown-in-training, and a trailer-dwelling delusional mermaid . Calamity and mayhem ensue as Alby and Elias’ sentimental trip down memory lane becomes an unsolicited lesson in the perils of living in the past. (Emerging Pictures)… Expand

    A poignant, quirky and effective alternative to the usual soulless, computer-generated summer fare.

    Full Grown Men often becomes as intolerably silly as the twee Amerindies it's reacting to.

    Full Grown Men marks the feature debut of director David Munro, who was born and raised in Miami and shoots Florida like a native.

    Nicely photographed and has impressive sets; too bad there's so little going on that it seems long even at 78 minutes.

    Cute movie. Kind of like Sideways. I love the actors and it's great for what it's trying to be.

    It is probably not fair of me to vote on this one, since I wanted to turn it off before the credits ended. It was obvious the main character was intolerable and uninteresting and unbelievable from the get-go. It only got worse from there. I made it through half the movie before I decide to go give myself an enema instead.… Expand
